    Probably about right-he had the size advantage, good power, and was technically sound-plus his bodywork would affect DLH by the late rounds.

    McCallum by close decision. Bodypunching could potentially stop Oscar, but I'll say he goes the distance. BTW, I'd probably favor McCallum over anyone else at 154lbs.

    Cosign with the rest of the posters who picked McCallum. He was a natural all time great at this weight class. Delahoya, though competitive at 154, was not a regular to this neighborhood. McCallum also had the right set of skills to trouble a fighter of Oscar's style.

    McCallum will back Oscar up & bang the body.

    But Oscar might get one judge's vote ( Harold !)

    I do too, Mike was the naturally bigger man & would be too strong here as 154 was DLHs last successfull weight & we know McCallum went to 175 eventually.

    good fight tho, never thought of this 1 before.

    McCallum in a clear but close decision. I think Oscar is a little underrated on here due to his ladt few fights. In his prime he was a true great and the complete package.
